Letter from a fan

When you were on Beth Ann Kozlovich’s program last week, you said 2 things which came together for me. You said “donor fatigue” caused people to lose interest in giving more to a cause and you talked about sending and receiving email from remote villages.

I Think donor fatigue is due to not receiving feedback from the recipients. Adopt-A-Child tried to overcome this by sending letters from the child to the donor. However, I understand that more of the donations went to this communication than to the child. But using your email scheme, feedback could be more direct and free.

Then a group adopting a village would be able to find out how its money was being used. Knowing that its money was not going into a black hole but was making real benefits possible, the group would continue giving for years.

Your description of your present work was inspiring. I really enjoyed listening to you. What do you think of my suggestion?

I hope to meet you the next time you come to Hawaii.

Sincerely,
